Hey all, here's the Prologue to a new Adventure fic. Not like Season 1, like the genre. I will tell you only four things about it so far: Veemon, Raramon, Salamon, and Tapirmon. That's it. Anyways, I hope you like it! R&R!
You know, running is a lot easier when you're about to die. So I guess I should be worried that my legs aren't searing in pain, that after several minutes of running faster than I'm able to, I'm not getting tired. Am I going to die? I look back over my shoulder for my answer.
Yes.
Yes I am.
But in spite of this, I keep running with the rest of my group. I don't dare stop, because maybe, just maybe, something magical will happen so that I don't have to die. Like in fairytales. But that prospect seems dim, because the only salvation in site is the gate, seeming to grow farther and farther away as I run full-throttle at it. I've only run like this once before.
"I'm gonna get you!"
"Oh, you think so, huh?"
"Yeah! Come on... TAG! Yes- Oh no!"
"Always double back when you tag someone, dummy!"
"Ah! No! You can't get-"
The shadow of the trees near them suddenly grew much, much bigger. The monster stepped out from the forest, and let out a roar.
"-Me."
I dare to take another look behind me. As I expect, the pack of Garurumon are still in pursuit of the delicious meal that is me and the others.
DarkTyrannomon locked it's eyes on the Tapirmon and Veemon, and took the first step. It seemed to be testing the ground, like it felt weak. But apparently it was satisfied that it wouldn't fall through, because when we started running, it did too.
"What the... Tapirmon!" The mother of the one Veemon had been playing with ran out of the small shack. "Thunder Cloud!" She let loose a huge lightning bolt from the molding of a sun on the end of her wand. "Leave my son alone!"
She ran between them and the dark-skinned dinosaur, holding out her wand. "Run!" She shouted, looking back at us, "I can handle him!" they didn't need to be told twice. As she turned back to face DarkTyrannomon, the two bolted like the fly that just got freed from the spider's web.
"Thunder Cloud!"
"Fire Blast!"
As I remember wondering if I'd survive that encounter, I begin to wonder how long I'll hold out during this one; I can hear the footstomps growing louder and louder, their sources growing closer by the second.
As they ran for our lives, all they heard was a scream and the continued stomping of DarkTyrannomon. As Tapirmon cried silently to himself, he and Veemon both took the added motivation to run.
This time, we have no one to sacrifice themselves for us. So, I check back behind me one last time, hoping against hope that the wolves aren't still there.
Yes. Yes they are. So, am I going to die?
I think we both know the answer to that question.
